Autoavaliação / CPA

Methodology adopted for self-evaluation:

In order to achieve the goals proposed in the strategic planning of the PPG in Environmental and Experimental Pathology (PPG-PAE), a Self-Assessment Committee (CPA) was set up, made up of 8 teachers, 2 students, 2 laboratory technicians and 1 administrative technician. The main objective of the self-assessment is to analyze the academic and administrative management of the PPG-PAE at UNIP in order to promote the adjustments and improvements needed to achieve academic, scientific and social excellence. The graduate profile of the PPG is structured according to the guidelines of the Institutional Development Plan (PDI) of Universidade Paulista (UNIP) and contributes to the training of masters and doctors according to some priority areas outlined for Veterinary Medicine in Brazil for the coming years.

The self-evaluation process was conducted by the PPG's CPA in accordance with the guidelines established in the Self-Evaluation Project (available at https://unip.br/cursos/pos_graduacao/strictosensu/patologia/apresentacao.aspx), which dialogues with the University's self-evaluation project, conducted by Unip's CPA (available at https://unip.br/universidade/cpa.aspx).

Data collection for the self-evaluation involved the following instruments:

a) Biannual survey of faculty and student/graduates' production: this is done by consulting their Lattes CVs, with surveys/tables of their intellectual production, serving to monitor and guide the achievement of the goals required by CAPES in the four-yearly evaluations.
b) Documentary analysis: institutional and national documents are analyzed based on the indicators defined for each item established by CAPES, the Vice-Rectory of Graduate Studies and Research and the Program.
c) Semi-structured individual or group interviews: these are carried out with teaching staff, the coordinator, graduates, students and administrative staff;
d) Application of questionnaires: to collect data and information with students, teachers, coordinators and technical-administrative representatives. The questions covered the items established by CAPES and the PPG-PAE (Google Forms Platform).
e) Seminars: Research and Self-Assessment Seminars are held annually and can be used for data collection, as well as for socializing the results of the self-assessment and discussing Strategic Planning.
f) Regular meetings: In order to achieve the objectives proposed for the Self-Evaluation process, regular meetings of the CPA and the PPG Collegiate take place periodically.
